Last day for Year 6

 Wednesday is the last day for Year 6, traditionally we have a school farewell on the Netball Court just before bell time which parents are invited to. The children in all the other grades form a circle on the Netball court and the Year 6 children go around the circle saying goodbye with a few high five hand slaps along the way.

This will commence at approx. 2:30 pm.

Another tradition is having a piece of their uniform signed. If the children want to have their uniform signed they must have written permission from you. The uniform to be signed cannot be worn when being signed so it will need to be brought in separately.

 The children have mostly been very settled as they approach the end of their primary school years and we ask that you speak to them to ensure that they finish their time at OLOR respectfully.

They have been a wonderful year group throughout their time at our school and you have every reason to be extremely proud of them.

End of Year Info

Here is some information about things that are happening for Year 6 children between now and the end of the year.

Firstly, could you please check at home for any library books as we are missing quite a few from our classrooms and there are a lot of children that are saying that they are at home “somewhere”.

Graduation:

Children need to be at the old school hall in the teacher’s car park by 6:15 please.

They need to be in FULL SCHOOL SUMMER UNIFORM.

Mass starts at 6:30.

After Mass the parents are asked to make their way to the hall where we will have a short presentation followed by a light supper.

This will commence at approx. 7:30pm, concluding at approx. 8:30pm.

Year 6 Fun Day

We have been giving the children points of late for good behavior to ensure that the children who attend Fun Day have proven that they deserve to take part. We have done this as a few have decided that it is an automatic right and that their behaviour has no impact on their attendance. They need to have 100 points by Friday to attend which will be no issue for many.

The children will be divided into 12 teams and should have a great day. They organize a team uniform to wear on the day (it should not be anything good as they do get very messy.

They also must have a hat and sunscreen and a change of clothes to go home in.

We will be discussing this more with the children tomorrow.

Carols at the Twilight Markets

We need some singers so if they can come at 6pm on Friday it would be much appreciated.

Last Wednesday

At about 2:30 on the last Wednesday we will farewell the children on the Netball Court, more details to follow.

Term 4 Homework

We are using a new format for homework this term.  Students will be given a grid containing 12 activities. There are 3 compulsory tasks, these being, reading, spelling and Mathletics. The other 9 tasks are optional. Students have 2 weeks to complete tasks to get to a specific total of points. You will find the spelling lists on our homework page. Grids are to be signed and returned on Thursday each fortnight (weeks 2,4,6 & 8).

Welcome to Term 4

It is hard to believe Term 4 is already here. The last term of Primary School before leaping into the great unknown of High School. 

• Enjoy every minute. 
• Continue to work hard. 
• Take time to ask questions. 
• Enjoy the friendships you have made during your time here at Primary School. 

One last Term of being 'The Big Kids'. Take this opportunity to leave your mark on our school community. Think about how you want to be remembered by all who remain after you leave. 

Summer Uniform

As the weather is getting warmer it has been decided that Students may wear either Summer or Winter uniform at the discretion of Parents. Uniforms must be either FULL summer or FULL winter, not a mixture of both.
